This is a romance set in Regency England. The heroine is a gentlewoman from the country who is an author of a very popular book. She goes to London to do research for a new book on gambling halls. She ends up saving the life of the most wealthy gambling hall owner and strikes a deal to let her use his to do her research. Of course all sorts of problems occur and attraction between the two. It was a pretty good fast read. The characters are pretty well created and filled in. It was fun.
